Sweet Potato Soup. This velvety smooth soup has a hint of maple and a touch of warm spices, making it an ideal appetizer course for Thanksgiving dinner or a warming fall lunch all on its own.
Originally published Nov, 2016.
With the Thanksgiving weekend coming up for our American friends, I thought of this sweet potato soup as a great starter course for Turkey Day.
The Sweet Potato Soup came out beautifully silky smooth.
I garnished it with a dollop of low fat yogurt and a few toasted pecans for a Thanksgiving appetizer to remember. It can be a delicious, healthy comfort food soup at any time, though. You'll love it.

Sweet Potato Soup - with a touch of maple.
Sweet Potato Soup. This velvety smooth soup has a hint of maple and a touch of warm spices, making it an ideal appetizer course for Thanksgiving dinner or a warming fall lunch all on its own.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, enough to make about 3 cups mashed sweet potato
- ½ large red onion, diced fine
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 carrots diced small
- 1 celery stalk chopped small
- 6 cups vegetable stock, low sodium
- salt to season to taste
- 2 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes and wrap them in aluminum foil. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about an hour or until they are fork tender at the centre.
- When they've cooled down for a few minutes remove the skins and roughly mash the potatoes. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan sized saucepan or dutch oven, add the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions, garlic, carrots and celery until the onions soften but do not brown.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients and simmer slowly over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are fully cooked.
- Transfer the soup to a blender, making sure that the cover is loose or the cover is vented to let steam escape. Start the blender on lowest speed and then gradually increase the speed until the soup is completely smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot and simmer until your preferred consistency is achieved, stirring often. You can always thin the soup with additional stock or water if it gets too thick.
- Serve with a garnish of a dollop of low fat yogurt and a few chopped toasted pecans.

This soup looks delicious! I was so happy to be able to pick up a copy of your Christmas cookbook in St. John's Barry.
I took it with me when I went to see my mother in law in her rest home. She has Alzheimer's disease. When I started showing her the photos of all the traditional Newfoundland goodies, she started to remember Christmas and how Christmas Was when she was a young girl. She shared with us and i wrote it all down so we have these memories to share with our children. Your cookbook has turned out to be a great memory jogger for us as well as a great source of recipes for me to make for my family. Thanks
That is so touching, Lisa. Wow! You definitely made my day. All the best to you and your family, Barry.
